Stir Fry or fried rice? It doesn't take much meat so you could pick it out of your dish.

I make spaghetti squash a lot. I just steam it in the microwave, scoop it out and add some lemon, butter and Parmesan. If you find a deal on chicken breast, I mix that in there sometimes too. -
Put meat in the slow cooker with carrots, potatoes, and other veggies, and a little broth? You could cook it in another room and not have to deal with the smell.

Baked potatoes? Usually a bag is cheap and everyone could add what they like.

On a budget I usually do "dirty rice" ground meat, browned in a pan with misc spices, add a veggie of choosing (or availability) to some rice with broth and red pepper. It's an all in one meal. When it's too spicy or I feel fancy I throw some greek yogurt or natural sour cream in it to make it a little creamy.

Rice and beans are the cheapest things in the grocery store.. cut up some fresh veggies and you've got yourself a meal, sister :)

Steam chicken thighs w veggies. Cook rice on the side- add cilantro, sautéed red onion and a bit of lemon juice to the rice (it's soo good).
Sloppy joes, tacos, etc are quick and easy. Beans can be subbed in tacos if you don't want meat. -
Great suggestions above. Also.. let him grill the meat, while you cook the sides.
